At a time when the Jewish and the general communities can seem hopelessly divided, American Jewish Committee facilitated the first Atlanta Unity Seder at The Temple on Tuesday, March 13. Led by
Rabbi Loren Filson Lapidus, the service was an expanded successor to the biennial Black-Jewish Seders organized by the Atlanta Black-Jewish Coalition. More than 400 people attended.
